Upcoming Races

Is anyone planning on running Marine Corps Marathon? I know Will is running but other than him I don't think anyone else is. Sweet, we won't have to walk from Rosslyn to DuPont again this year.

Just wanted to enlighten you all on some "other" races that are coming up in October and November:

Saturday September 26: Bull Run Reunion Run. 3 mile cross country race at Hereford High School (MD state course). No entry fee, just show up and run. We went in 2006 and 2007, but the event was postponed due to rain last year. I don't expect to be there myself but it's a really fun event. Race usually starts at noon.

Saturday October 24: Alpha Omicron Pi 5k at Washington College in Chestertown, MD. Apparently it's in remembrance of one of their sisters who passed away, so I don't intend to belittle that, but there's sorority girls so that's always good. It would be pancake flat, it's in Chestertown, after all.

Sunday November 1: Run Through the Grapevine 8k. I did this race back in 2006 and it's one of, if not the hardest cross country race you can do. NOT for the weak of ankles, you run betwixt the rows of grape trees. Very challenging. But fun, and almost everyone gets a prize and almost all the prizes are bottles of wine.
